2018 Map of Perkinsville

About this map

Perkinsville sits along the winding course of the Verde River in this high-desert survey of the central Arizona uplands. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Sycamore Canyon and Sycamore Basin, where the river has carved deep into the surrounding plateaus. This area, largely contained within the Prescott National Forest, illustrates a classic western ranching and transit environment. Numerous named watering points, such as Black Hills Tank and Witty Tom Tank, are scattered across the township lines, indicating the vital importance of water management in the arid terrain. The Atchison River railroad corridor parallels the river’s path, providing a critical transportation link through the canyons. Notable landforms like Mormon Pocket and Sand Flat highlight the varied topography, while several Forest Roads, including FR 318, provide access to the remote draws and canyons that reach toward the Coconino and Yavapai County line.
